The Binary in Dubai, United Arab Emirates

November 21, 2010 Category: Cultural, Public Buildings

The Binary Was designed by Dubarch, that locate in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. In order to maximise the views to the lake the two towers were tilted and curved in the lake’s direction opening up at the main point of entry to embrace the visitors and introduce them to the multistory atrium lobby. The fluid form of the tower and their variation in height lightens the mass of the building aesthetically. The difference in height of the two tower volumes creates panoramic lake views for the executive floors on the top of the higher tower. The final composition of the two free flowing towers is finished in contrasting horizontal and vertical lines created by the external façade curtain wall. This simple contrasting design movement is again reminiscent of binary numbers working in combination to create unlimited possibilities. The contrasting horizontal and vertical lines of the building are exciting to look at during the day and amazing to gaze at after dark. The illumination between the mullions at night create an opposite visual effect during the night as the horizontal and vertical façade elements fade away into a dark line while the glazed volume behind them glows to show the inner mass of the building.
